BENHAYON's DEATH.
Result OF Yesterdays Session of the Coro-
ner's Inquest.

ner's Inquest.
SAN FRANCISCO, November Sth.-Promptly
at 2 o'clock the Coroner called the witness,
Mrs. Higson, in the Benhayon INQUEST.
She took the stand with puzzled air, and
in answer to the Coroner's inquiry how
she ordinarily managed the KEYS of her
rooms, she said that she usually had three
keys for each room, one of which she
always retains, so that the rooms NAV be
entered in case of the absence of the occu-
pant or occupants. The gentleman who
took the key for room q refused receipt
for his deposit of So, and took the key in
stead.
Max Walter, a wholesale liquor dealer
on Sutter street, has known Benhayon for
twenty years. He visited my store fire.
quently. saw him last about three weeks
before his death. Once he came into nv
store after the stage fever had struck him
and said that he was about to write play:
that the plot had already been given to
him by his friend DR.. Bowers, who was a
good English scholar, and would see to it
that the production would read properly.
He told me he was engaged upon two
plays, one sensational play-The Alibi'-
and the other comic one. He was a
young man who seemed to have yerv
good knowledge of the rules regarding in
surance adopted by the different insurance
societies.
EXPERT HYDE ON THE BENHAYoN LETTERS.
At the inquest tonight, Mr.. Hyde, the
handwriting expert, was recalled and gave
the result of his re-eXaminaton of the al
legged confession of Benhayon. His testi-
mony confirmed that of Horton and Hickex
that the confession was beyond doubt
written by BenhayoD, as were also the let
ters to the Coroner, Dimmig and Chronicle.
As the matter now stands there are three
experts for and one against the genuineness
of the handwriting OF the confession.
DETECTIVE HOGAN
Then took the stand. He reviewed the
history of the case. He said Dimmig had
made several contradictions in his answers
to him. He had told Hogan that Benbayon
never had been in the room on Market
street, and afterwards admitted he had. At
first Dimmig said he had never bought, or
had IN his possession, any cyanide of
potassium. When confronted by the man
he got it from he squirmed out of it by
saying that he had it given to him, and
had not bought it. In the Courtroom
Dimmig, before going on the stand. came
to him and said: What shall | do ?
What shall l say?n Hogan advised him
to tell the truth, which he promised to do.
Hogan said that Dimmig refused to talk to
him during the progress of the inquest
saying; " You will get me in hole. l
would rather talk books to you"

FIELDEN RECANTs AND BEGs FOR MERCY
In addition TO the joint letter of Spies
Flelden and Schwab, deploring the loss of
life at the Haymarket, and disavowipg the
use OF force, the former employers of
F1elden have secured from him separate

recants and disavows all his loyalty to the
doctrine that the wrongs of any class of
society should be righted by violence

Judge Gary states that he and attorney

Daniel Mclaughlin and A. J. Streeter, who

at the present time, in view of the recent
alleged finding of bombs in Lingg's cell
and in order that time may be given for a
thorough investigation of this matter. and
as to the degree of guilt of the condemned
men, the petition prays that the Governor

CHICAGO, November Sth.-For the first
time in twenty-five years Chicago has a
military camp. Two companies of the
Sixth United States Infantry, under COM
mand of Major Lister, arrived in the city
this morning, and proceeded TO the mill
tary reservation at Highwood, which was
given to the Government by the city of
Chicago. Immediately upon their arrival
the garrison flag was run up, and Camp
Highwood was formally dedicated. None
of the officers had the least idea that they
would be brought into the city next Friday,
as many sensational reports have alleged.

PHILADELPHIA, November Sth. At a
meeting here yesterday of the clergymen
and laymen of the various religious de-
nominations to name representatives to at
tend the General Christian conference un-
der the auspices of the Evangelical Alli-
ance for the United States, to be held in
Washington the first week in December
an explanation was made of the purpose of
the Washington conference by Rev. Jo-
siah Strong, President of the Alliance. He
said: Thoughtful men are convinced that
the closing years of the nineteenth century
constitute q nomentous crisis in the his
tory of the nation. The necessity of plant
ing Christian institutions in the formative
West and of Strengthening them in the
older States, the duty of overtaking the
rapid growth of our cities with adequate
church provisions, the importance of clos
ing the widening chasm between the
church and the multitude, and of bringing
the regenerative power Of the Gospel to
bear upon every character and life. demand
the instant attention of the Christian
Church and the full exercise of all its en-
ergies. The three things needed in order
that the masses shall be reached are, first,
the desire to do that work second, a
knowledge of conditions and needs, and
third, personal efforts and contact with
people"

State Assembly, is in the city and will join
the Legislative delegation, which will ask

To an Associated Press representative he
said tonight that he is opposed to hang
ing under any circumstances, and went on
to say that this not question of mercy
at all, but of public pity.
Mr.. Haines thinks, in view of the fact
that there were so many other Anarchists
and Socialists in the country, it might be
ssnsafe to hang the condemned men.
argued that somebody will take hold Of the
case by and by and discover that these men
were not guilty OF murder at all.

Adjutant-General Drsm's Suggestion
Concerning the Militia.

Concerning the Militia.
WASHINGTON, November Sth.-Adiutant-
General Drum, in his annual report to the
Secretary of War, states that the steadily
increasing interest manifested by the mil
ltla OF the States is evidenced by the high
percentage of attendance at annual encamp-
ments and the generally excellent military
spirit OF the troops. With the liberal in
crease of appropriations made at the last
session of Congress it is earnestly hoped
the State military authorities will, by in.
creased allowance of ammunition, foster
and develop the efficiency of the rank and
file in target firing. He recommends the
establishment, during each encampment,
OF an officers school for instruction in bat
talon drill and the administration of posts.
He also suggests the advantage of holding
weekly, during the winter months, nom
commissioned officers school-the Captain
as instructor = for instruction. Young
officers of the army could be spared during
the winter, 10 report to the Adjutant- Gen.
erals of the States, on application of the
Governors, to aid in the instruction.

MORE ARRESTS.
Pistol-Laden Socialists Taken in by the
Watchful Detectives.

Watchful Detectives.
CHICAGO, November Sth. = Frederick
Koerst and Emil Wende have been locked
up by the police on a charge of conspiracy
At the time of their arrest Koerst had on
his person four heavy revolvers for de-
livery to Wende, to whom he was under
contract to bring dozen OF the same
pattern. The Chief of Detectives said the
department has evidence to convict those
men and a number of others of conspiracy.
For two years the Anarchists and Socialists
have made their headquarters in the
northwestern part of the city. While to
all outward appearances they seemed to
have avoided all haunts and sympaihizers,
they had been secretly taking an interest
in the promulgation of their old-time
doctrines. The police have had spies
amongst them, and as soon as they began
plotting last week number OF them were
taken in by the detectives. Lieutenant
Steele refuses to say how many prisoners
have been arrested

THE LAST PETITION.
A Delegation Leaves Chicago for the State
Capital.

Capital.
CHICAGO, November Sth.-The last dele
cation to wait on the Governor with petit
ton for clemency for the condemned An
archists left the city tonight.
Captain Black was asked if he had any
real hope that the Governor would inter-
fere with the sentence. He replied that he
was quite confident that clemency would
be extended to Schwab and Fielden, if not
others. "Of course" said he, there is no
hope of Lingg.
HE HAS SIGNED HIS OWN DOOM
In case of an execution, will the men
be attended by ministers ?"
Captain Black-'.These men have reli-
gion of their own, and do not want any
ministers of the Gospel. They are not re-
ligious men, in the common sense of the
term, but agnostics-not atheists, remem-
ber."
SOME AFFECTING SCENES.
Miss Van Zandt had a brief interview with
Spies through the netting of the lawyers
cage.
Mrs Schwab, Mrs. Fielden, Mrs. Epgel
and Mrs. Fischer were in the visitors cage,
and had brief conversations with their hus-
bands. MIS-. Fielden had her children with
her, and the meeting between Fielden and
his family was quite affecting.
LINGG STUBBORN AND DEFIANT.
Anarchist Lingg was visited in the Jail
by attorney Zeisler this afternoon for the
purpose of obtaining from him statement
in regard to the bombs found in his cell.
Lingg denied that he had any knowledge of
the bombs, and then, continuing, said: 81
have refused and still do refuse to sign any
petition to the Governor asking for COM
mutation of my sentence. / and q few
others will surely hang, but will not make
statement for the benefit of those who
signed the petition. l hate them for the
course they have taken, and / would
not even lift one of my fingers to save them,
if could"
Captain Black, attorney Zeisler and Miss
Van Zandt afterwards obtained formal
declaration from Fielden, Spies and
Schwab that they knew nothing about the
bombs found.
PARSONS, ENGEL AND FISCHER REFUSE TO
SIGN.
Then, for the last time, Captain Black
visited Parsons, Engel and Fischer for the
purpose of inducing them to sign the
petition to the Governor. It was without
avail. Parsons, voicing their determination
by words, said: If the State can afford
10 put me to death, / can afford to de-
